Pros

Company has a great work environment, great benefits, can do better in terms of compensation in general but not bad at all for the size of the company.

Cons

I think the company as a whole is great, in general, but IT is a mess. It's chaotic, unorganized and does not make you feel secure. Direction is all over the place. Too much chaos - too many emails - and it is not conducive to anything.

Pros

I love this organization! I was fortunate to have been brought on nearly two years ago and I have truly enjoyed every step of the journey so far. I have enjoyed learning about the electrical/ construction industry and am privileged to be a part of such a thriving, deep-rooted company. I’m challenged every day and have learned more than I could have imagined. I have a terrific work “family” and I feel a deep sense of pride and accomplishment in the projects I contribute to. Training and development of employees seems to be a priority among the leaders and I’ve always felt that the executives genuinely care about their employees. The employees from other departments are willing and ready to share their knowledge and I’ve been encouraged to ask questions and collaborate with other groups as much as I needed to in order to achieve my goals.

Cons

If you’re looking for down time- this isn’t the place for you. To say that it’s fast-paced would be an understatement. I often feel that I’m playing a game of “beat the clock” when I walk in each day. I thrive in this type of environment and it certainly makes the days, weeks, months, etc. go by quickly- but I understand it’s not for everyone. There’s also a LOT to learn; if you’ve never been immersed into the organizational dynamics of union/ bargaining and non- bargaining and everything else that comes with that, it can be a lot to absorb- especially when there are over a half a dozen subsidiaries and over 40 district locations throughout the country. So unless you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and jump in with both feet, you could easily find yourself drowning. My advice would be, “Don’t give up!” It’s a lot to learn- just stick with it and it will come!

Pros

Really great benefits, and a lot of great people. Company has a strong focus on safety and doing things right.

Cons

Management is very political, and while they have a great ethics and business conduct policy it does not always appear they abide by it.
